Lemon AI​ is the first ​full-stack, open-source, agentic AI framework, offering a ​fully local alternative​ to platforms like Manus & Genspark AI. It features an integrated Code Interpreter VM sandbox for safe execution.​​

​Lemon AI empowers deep research, web browsing, viable coding, and data analysis – running entirely on your local hardware.​​ It supports ​planning, action, reflection, and memory​ functionalities using ​local LLMs​ (like DeepSeek, Qwen, Llama, Gemma) via Ollama, ensuring ​complete privacy and zero cloud dependency.

For enhanced security, Lemon AI operates within a ​local Virtual Machine (VM) sandbox. This sandbox ​protects your machine's files and operating system​ by safely handling all code writing, execution, and editing tasks.

Additionally, Lemon AI provides the ​flexibility to configure enhanced results​ using APIs from leading cloud models like ​Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Grok.
